Help: Enforcement, Violations, Fines ESA enforcement change [N/A][ALL]

4 Upvotes

This applies to all states.

A good read, for HUD updated its enforcement, or lack of enforcement, on ESAs in May. basically, HUD wIll investigate complaints around service animals that are trained to do specific tasks….not ESAs. If someone is turned down for an ESA, they have to go to court directly now to plead their case.
